ARTISAN water has been obtained by the Coronado Water Company at San Diego and good flow has rewarded the expert ment. The spot selected was not more than fifty feet above high water mark but the depth at which the water was found was not stated, although less than three weeks was consumed in boring This is a discovery of great value to San Diego and the experiment will result in the sinking of many ether wells in that vi cinity. We firmly believe flowing water can be obtained on the mesa lands to the south of Florence, and successful demon stration of the fact will create such land boom here as Arizona has never wit messed. A few thousand dollars expended in determining this question would be money well spent and if water is sfound thu projectors will reap rich harvest.

Gypsies Do Not Mourn.

It is singular fact that gypsies do not mourn the death of their young, much as they love and cherish the living. On one occasion, where band had buried little child in camp where was visiting. hardly had the evening come before the jolliest of merry making was begun. The mourn ing family were especially made comfort able and piled with enlivening liquor until long after midnight. discovered that the gypsy thought on all these mat ters was one of pure philosophy.

 Tends the road, a a-wearym
 That is, a dead child is beyond trouble, and no labor or effort is spared on the part of friends to emphasize this idea and turn the matter to some pleasurable account. 1t also holds good on the death of the elder gypsies, though in e lesser degree. While I have never been able, even through the most careful inquiry and ob- servation, to discover in any gypsy ever knew definite faith in future ex. istence, or the possible reunion of kin, ol the good, after death, @ gypsy who has been an honor to his kind is buried with great ceremony. It is not infrequent that his entire portable effects are burned at or near his grave. "Hits better they be wi him" or, "Owsumdever mout in be wi out naught but is hands crossed. are about all that can be got for thu closest questioning. There is in 1t all however, ridiculous and grim deferenc' to possibilities. es.-Edgar L. Wakeman' Letter.

Dan ETing's Complication.

The Silver City Enterprise publishes a revision of Dan Ming's prayer for rain, and the new version is quite an improv- ment upon the original application. It | transpired during meeting of the cow boys and in less than three days after | wards the flood gates of heaven were opened and Sulphur Spring valley was flooded with welcome water Dams model petition is given as follows.
 ae You -lHswy oh, Lord! that I never asked you for anything before; but at this stage of the roundup, and at the earnest request of my fellow COW punch
 CTS, beseech you in a most supphcaLing manuer to give us sure-enough rain. I tell you, oh, Lord! our range Is in a he-is ill terrible condition You know. oh, Lord! that water is something I seldom call for, but our poor cattle and ponies demand 1t; and as almost every other section of the country has had a rain, I don't see why you can't give your attention to us for just little while.
 The impression is abroad that we have been such terrible sinners that you
 have purposely overlooked our range; and now, our heavenly father, you know
 that aint square deal; and even if we
 have sinned little we'll promise not to
 do 1t any more if you will just give us a
 good rain. Our cattle are rolling their
 tails for the mountains and dying of
 thirst and hunger; our calf crop will be
 light, and the mavericks which have
 been our main by will vamos to the rangesof some other slick puncher, who
 is just as handy with his string and
 branding iron. So you see, oh, Lord that unless you turn loose and help ui , we are liable to get what Pete Kitchen
 got in Sonora. Now, oh, God! we don''
 think that's right, when all we ask IS | l little rain and square cut. But If yol do not grant our prayer, for Christ's sak'
 stop 1t from raining on Joe Hampson' range, for all our cattle are going ove e there. Hampson, oh, Lord! is a power ful sinner, and undeserving of such good
 ness from you, and he will build to ou
 mavericks if he is allowed to cut them o l. us Yes, oh, Lordi we pray you to stO the rain on Hampson's range, at least un til we can send him our marks and brands f do not want you to think our heavenl t father, that we mean to buffalo you. B. you can't do all we ask just grant tn
 much, and we will consider, oh, Lore
 that our prayer has been answered. ,f hope you won't be to exacting, but r ,t member, our heavenly father, that tn H' H'' is my first prayer, and ~ take thin| 'h as I mean 'em The boys have alwa, d called me "sure wolf," and relied 0 k me to howl at every gathering; but
 know what sorry effort I make at
 prayer. and if you will just overlook h. this time I will promise, oh, Lordl nev ,a to try it again. Amen"

THE Supreme Court of Arizona has rendered decision upon an irrigation pro oblem that deeply int erests all portions of the Territory where artificial irrigation is practiced. The suit was brought by w. A. Dalton and others, of the Santa Cruz valley, against Rentaria and others, to restrain the latter from preventing the waters of the Santa Cruz river from flow ing through certain aceeuias upon the lands of plaintiffs. The waters had been thus conducted for period of time vary ing from sixteen to fifty years without opposition or interference of defendants. Chief Justice Wright. in rendering the opinion which was concurred in by the entire bench, holds that the long and passive acquiescence ill the use of tho water by plaintiffs, estops the defendantI from asserting or maintaining any right against plaintiffs, and the judgment O the county court was reversed and caus remanded to the District Court of tn First Judicial District with instruction to enter judgment for plaintiffs makin
 perpetual the injunction. We will pub
 fish the decision in full next week.

4 co.oneratirs Kitchen.

The scheme has been actually carried into effect in New York, so far as some of the great apartment houses are con cerned. In them there is one kitchen for many families, and it is presided over by A high priced cook, such a man as only the richest single families are able to em- ploy. Provisions are bought wholesale, and there is a variety ill the fare not pos sible in an ordinary household with its own kitchen. The housemaids are also supplied by the manager, in whose pay and under whose discipline they are, and the establishment furnishes, besides, me chanics and porters for the common con venience. Therefore, a family may ob- tain cookery and service which only the very rich are able 10 secure in another than cooperative household.
 Yet people who have lived in such apartment houses have often become dis satisfied with them. The cookery is res taurant cookery, and something of the character of the hotne is lost. Life istoo easy, and women may sigh for the eccu- pations with which the old fashioned household provided them. But the Lon don writer is correct in his provision when he says that something like asso- ciated homes is clearly indicated for the future.-New York Sun.

THE crown prince of Germany is dying with cancer of the throat; the princess has recently been afflicted with paralysis of the lower jaw and the venerable emperor, it is now announced, is suffer- ing with the same difficulty. The crown is therefore likely to soon pass to the son of the crown prince, lively and pugna- cious lad. So long as Bismarck holds the reins the change in rulers will have but little effect, but should the veteran diplomat pass away the present vigorous policy of the German empire will feel the loss of the great minds that have built up strong nation out of feeble provinces that is the admiration of the world.

THERE can be no two questions as to the future of Florence. Its solid foun- dation of agriculture, to say no thing of the rich mining interests of the county, and it's extensive grazing ranges, guaran- tee populous city. The Florence ca nal ensures an abundant water supply for nearly one hundred and fifty thousand acres of new land in addition to that al- ready supplied from other ditches, while another storage reservoir and dcanal enter prise recently inaugurated will extend the cultivated land between Florence and the railroad to still handsomer figures. There is scarcely an acre of land in all this vast domain that will yield an an- nual return of less than fifty dollars per acre, under proper cultivation, while the average income will exceed one hundred dollars per acre. One can readily com pute, upon this basis, the amount oi money the farmers of this valley will handle in a single year. But all thii prosperity will not be achieved in a sin gle year; the next four or five years vii witness still further advances and tn, reclamation of other lands will also b. made possible with newly discovered sources of water supply.

MT. Kidder brought in from Cooks peak a specimen of ancient iron work which IS attracting the attention and pug zllng all examiners. The thing has the form and appearance of Moorishs tirrap more than anything else, is handsomely engraved, and so heavy that a pair of them would be no small weight on a horse. Near where this article was pick ed up were also found immense bones of some sort, buried deep under the surface, and the cutoff trunks of trees six feet in diameter. The largest tree in the neigh hborhood is the sage brush. There is rich field for the student of arche ology all over this country.-Deming Headlight.

TIE Los Angeles Tribune gives to

TIE Los Angeles Tribune gives to General Miles the credit of first suggest ing that the government should develop water for retaining its desert lands in the Territories, as a part of it's policy of internal improvements. General Miles in his address to the Society of Arizona Pioneers fully endorsed that wise propo- sition, but he is far from being the origl- nator of it. The press of Arizona has ad- vocated the idea for years past and Its arguments are unanswerable. General Miles has seen the justice of these de- mands and in treating upon the govern l ment's policy of internal improvements, he wisely concludes as follows; ''It is not believed, however, that all the measures of internal improvement have been exhausted. There is indeed much room for higher and fuller devel- opment of that policy, and in opening new industries and giving occupation to labor. The British government, therich- est of all Europe, has not only built rail ways through India by which they are able to bring the products of that country into competition with those of our own country to the detriment of our farmers and producers, but they have wisely ex- pended millions of British gold in devel- opiuo water and in the construction of vast irrigating canals and storage reser- voirs, by which they have made that re- markable country one of the most pro ductive in the world. Surely there can be no reason why the United States should be outdone in national enterprise. While millions of dollars are appropriated for river and harbor improvements, pos sibly it would be well to devote some at tention to the vast area of the West, DOT tions of which though comparatively useless now, might be turned into bus jest scenes of industries. It certainly cannot be expected that pioneers anC settlers who take up 160 acres of land a homesteads, must by private expendi lures inaugurate system of internal i'm movements that would benefit the publi domain still held by the government"
 In another issue the Tribune thinks strange that the proposition of the i'm provement of it's unsold lands by tn government has not been before urge upon Congress for action. Governo Tritle, in his annual report to the Secre tary of the Interior in 1884, brought tn subject to the attention of the depart ment, and the Thirteenth Legislative Al sembly, by joint resolution, asked Cor gress to appropriate funds for that pun pose. While we are pleased to see tt subject attracting wider attention ou side the Territory, we are sure that u Tribunes desire to credit General Mil
 with originating the idea is not share by the General himself, for we belie' that he does not covet any glory that has not achieved by his own recognize abilities.

The Western Settlers Chosen
 Specific.

With every advance of emigration into the for West, new demand IS created for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Newly peopled regions are frequently less sal ubrious than older settled localities, on account of the miasma which rises from recently cleared land, particularly along the banks of rivers that are subject to freshers. The agricultural or mining emigrant soon learns, when he does not already know, that the Bitters afford the only sure protection against malaria, and those disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, to which climate changes, expos ure, and unaccustomed of unhealthy water or diet subject him. Consequently, he places an estimate upon this great household specific and preventive con- mensurate with it's intrinsic merits, and is careful to keep on hand a restorative and promoter of health so implicitly to be relied upon in time of need.

Roll. and Their Treatment.

That which in every day talk is called Q boil, sometimes ''bile" or ''beel, tech- n;cal writers call fnuncle. This word is of Latin derivation, the original signi- flying petty thief, and in view of the fact that few trifles can so efectually rob a man of his peace of mind it would ap- pear that furuncle were the better name for the trouble in question, which is cir cumscribed inflammation occurring in the skin and tissues immediately there under.
 Boils, like death, claim all seasons for their own, and may come singly or in groups. The coincidence of boils and general systematic diseases is common. When or however boils appear the victim should regard them much the same as a railroad man regards danger signal and call halt. Inquiry into the condition of a furunculous patient will, as rule, re- veal two facts-a vitiated condition of the blood and local violence, frequently in the way of chafng by close fitting neckwear or other clothing.
 What has just been said makes it toler- ably clear what those suffering from boils want tc do. All sources of local irritation should be removed and tonlcs, good food, rest, change of air, etc., made use of. Heat and moisture art remedies the local use of which is very useful. A small bag of thin, old muslin 1 does well to. hold the time honored poul tice with which it is well to incorporate tablespoonful of lard or some othe unctuous substance.
 The simplest and best local application for boils is the pouring thereon of wate as hot as can be borne. This gives mucl relief and no doubt hastens the forma tion of pus in the boil, an event who's occurrence is signalized by the cessation of the throbbing pain so familiar to thos who have suffered from furuncle. Boil may at times be nipped in the bud, so speak, by painting around them yer early with tincture of iodine.-Philade phia Times.

The heavy rains of the present week have been beneficial to agricultural lands but positive injury to the grazing ran ges. The grass that nature had cured in to hay has received the element neces- sary to it's decay and its nutritious prop critics will soon become greatly impaired before the new grass grows. The grain fields and meadows, however, have re- ceived sufficient moisture to give them a good early start and if the promise of cara ,;ous winter ins is fulfilled the farm CTS will reap rich harvest the coming season without having to depend entirely upon the flow of water in the irrigating canals.

Irrigating Lands.
Phenix Gazette.

Ever since the Nile gave man his first lessons in irrigation, by overhowing and thus rendering fertile the lands along its course, water for irrigation has al ways commanded premium Ill dry eli mates, and lands so lying that they could be irrigated have commanded a high price. Nature has provided i'm mense reservoirs below the surface of the earth which may be tapped by man and made to yield an ample supply of water with which to fertilize the sur face. The fact that flowing wells vie lding from five to thirty gallons per minute are nearly always obtained by going down from one hundred to five hundred feet, the streams tapped by them do not yield nearly as much as would strata of water lying at a greater depth. The amount of land now unoc- cupied in Arizona, which could be culti- vated if water could be conveyed upon | it, is upwards of 100000 acres and vast tracts of similar lands are found in contiguous states and territories. Vast sums annually appropriated by congress for the improvment of rivers and har- bors, which would result in much great CT benefit to the nation at large, if appro- priated in providing water for the des-
 srt lands owned by the government.
 Congress ought to provide funds for the

 the latter method would create monopo

 have never been asked to do; We are urg

It would be good an strictly legitimate thing for the depart ment of agriculture, in the interest c . science to demonstrate to the public ( l the nation just what can be accomplishe n by sinking artesian wells. This inform

 subject. Arizona should make an e, s traordinaIy effort to secure legislatio e from congress favorable on this .subjec n There is probably not another SC ction ,s country in the union that could be

What human power can re- sist such unsel6sh enterprise2 These phases of local effort were of actual oc- currence in the endeavor to secure the National Soldiers Home, and if the man. agers of that institution consult proper economy in the expenditure of the funds set apart for that purpose rather than their gustatory desires, the smart city of
